Waimanalo Beach

Waimanalo Beach is in a sleepy residential area near Sea Life Park. It's usually about a 30 minute scenic drive from Waikiki. This beach is our favorite for portraits as it is usually very empty and the dramatic scenery with mountains and soft light makes for the most amazing photos! Best For: Morning or sunsetLarger groupsFeatures: Long sandy beachdramatic mountains and rock formations in the distanceGreen area with dreamy treesEasy access and large parking lot

On the far west tip of the island, this beach is the furthest away from Waikiki, but it is also one of the most scenic beaches in all of Hawaii. 1.5 hours drive away from Waikiki and 45 minutes from Ko'olina, it's worth the trip!
